MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190727h errorbox  179 sec after notice time and 738 sec after trigger time at 2019-07-27 06:15:51 UT, with upper limit up to  17.3 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 82 deg. The sun  altitude  is -65.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
